|---|---|---|---|---|
| HB 279 | Committee | Collins | This bill promotes marine equipment owner choice and competition for repair and maintenance services by requiring manufacturers of marine equipment to make available to owners and independent repair providers, on fair and reasonable terms, the same documentation, parts, and tools used to diagnose, maintain, and repair such equipment created by the manufacturer for the purposes of repair. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 23 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE DELAWARE MARINE EQUIPMENT RIGHT TO REPAIR ACT. |
| HB 281 | Committee | Michael Smith | This bill creates the crime of child abuse by a person in a position of trust, authority, or supervision. This crime may be a class A, B, C, E, or F felony depending on the degree of injury to the victim and whether the defendant acted intentionally, recklessly, or knowingly. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO CHILD ABUSE BY A PERSON IN A POSITION OF TRUST, AUTHORITY, OR SUPERVISION. |
| HB 282 | Committee | Hilovsky | This act cuts Fiscal Year 2026 state spending by 1% to alleviate any budgetary shortfall and avoid unnecessary tax law changes that damage the state's long-term finances. | AN ACT TO DECREASE STATE SPENDING FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026. |
| HA 2 to HB 151 | PWB | Gorman | This Amendment exempts facilities that house a program to provide services in a nonsecure residential setting for juveniles under the jurisdiction of Family Court from the definition of a private detention facility. It also provides a definition of “nonsecure residential setting”. The exemption for nonsecure residential settings for juveniles sunsets on February 1, 2028. This Amendment also makes technical corrections. | |
| HA 1 to SS 1 for SB 228 | Stricken | Romer | This House Amendment to Senate Substitute No. 1 to Senate Bill No. 228 clarifies that the quality control review parameters articulated in Senate Substitute No. 1 to Senate Bill No. 228 are not limitations on the power of New Castle County to otherwise make revisions and corrections to property assessments in the county and that New Castle County may conduct additional quality control review where it appears that an error or mistake in valuation may have occurred. It clarifies that when school districts set their tax rate or rates in October 2026, the boards should set rate or rates so that overall projected revenue does not increase as a result of any corrections made as part of the quality control review described in this bill, or any other corrections to assessed value. The amendment also adds a whereas clause that references the existing “fair market value” standard for valuation contained in the Delaware Code. |
